6 years ago Yup, mp3 format is patent-free now, so new versions of SDL_mixer support it by default.

0.58, compiled from current Github source, seems to crash when trying to start a game or adjust weapon bans when the Shock v1.40 Air mod is selected. This does not happen on all systems, and I suspect that this might be related to SDL.

These are apparently the last messages before the crash:
[23:21:00] n: LoadSoundSample: Error while loading ./../gamedata-058/Shock v1.40 Air/sfx/Hammer.wav: MPEG Layer 3 data not supported [23:21:00] n: modLog: Could not open sound 'Hammer.wav'
Checking that file with the "file" command shows that it has different or malformed contents: Grenade.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 11025 Hz Hammer.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, MPEG Layer 3, mono 8000 Hz Launch.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 8 bit, mono 22050 Hz
If the file is converted to raw WAV format, e.g. by using VLC, the game does not crash.
This crash does occur on Fedora 27, with the following SDL(1) library versions installed: 1.2.15-29.fc27 (main) 1.2.12-17.fc27 (image) 1.2.12-14.fc27 (mixer) 1.2.8-11.fc27 (net) 1.0.3-19.fc27 (sound)
This does NOT apparently occur on Debian 9 with the following SDL(1) versions installed. Instead, the error message is printed three times (Hammer.wav is also mentioned three times in the .lgs file) and the default sound effect is used instead. 1.2.12-5+deb9u1 (image) 1.2.12-11+b3 (mixer) 1.2.15+dfsg1-4 (main) 1.0.3-7+b3 (sound)
This does NOT occur with 0.59 - it can apparently read the file without problems. It uses SDL2.
Similar crashes related to Shock v1.40 Air were reported several years ago but I do not have any logs about these. An SDL update apparently fixed the problem back then.
